The Montgomery County, PA Green Party Supports the EQAT-led Actions Urging Vanguard to Divest from Fossil Fuels

The Montgomery County Green Party, is a local branch of the Green Party of Pennsylvania

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The Montgomery County Green Party formally expressed its solidarity and support for the Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT) in their prolonged struggle to bring pressure to bear against the investment firm, Vanguard, one of the largest investors in the world in the fossil fuel industry.

Founded in 2009, the Earth Quaker Action Team has engaged in, and organized various grassroots campaigns, such as Bank Like Appalachia Matters, the fight against the Keystone XL Pipeline, and Power Local Green Jobs. These campaigns, all fighting in the interest of social and climate justice, and grassroots organizing, have had success in creating change of policy, boosting sustainable and equitable development, and raising consciousness about the most critical issues of our time.

This constant advocacy for community-based organizing, social justice, and climate justice coalesced into their ongoing partnership in the international Vanguard S.O.S. movement, starting in 2021. Today they still hold consistent and frequent meetings, trainings, and events in a continuous effort to fight against Vanguard’s destructive lust for profit. We also praise the other elements of the Vanguard S.O.S. movement for their efforts and cooperation towards that end.

As our world continues to be threatened by the ever-growing problem of climate change, its catastrophic effects, and our contrarily ineffectual governance across the world, the duty of combatting climate change has fallen onto the general populace. The question is not just what kind of future we are going to have, but whether we are going to have a future at all. That is why grassroots movements and organization are so extremely important, for only we, the working class, can apply the pressure necessary to make the changes needed for the preservation, and improvement, of our world.

Green Party Celebrates International Women’s Day 2026

By Erin King

International Women’s Day (IWD) will be celebrated by Green Party members on Sunday, March 8, this year. The IWD theme for 2026 will be “Give to Gain.” The Green Party National Women’s Caucus says it “will organize and act to advance Women's rights and concerns with the ultimate goals of maximizing . . . a voter, activist, leadership, candidate and officeholder base of Women, that is reflective of the great diversity of this nation.”

Another year, another chance to do better, despite the ongoing human catastrophes occurring here and overseas—war and genocide, mass starvation, state-sanctioned rape and pedophilia, police beating and jailing protesters for lawfully protesting, and billionaires allowed the impunity to wreck whatever tiny scraps of democracy the West hasremaining, at whim.

Over the past year alone in America, we’ve seen no end to greedflation, as evidenced by skyrocketing homelessness, grocery prices continuously climbing, and our own government caring less and less about the wellbeing and basic human rights of its own citizens.

Many people, families included, live in their vehicles, working multiple jobs to survive, while others are forced to decide between paying for life-sustaining medications or food. On a grand scale, Americans now feel little to no sense of safety in their own neighborhoods, largely due to our federal government’s acts of terrorism committed by ICE and the CBP against anyone they deem suspicious.

Renee Good was an American woman, mother, daughter, partner, sister, neighbor, and friend. Despite doing nothing other than driving and going about her usual day, she is no longer with us because a lawless bully of an ICE agent decided in the moment that he had the right to decide who lives or dies. The agent, Jonathan Ross, also uttered the statement, “Fucking bitch,” immediately after shooting her four times—not because Ms. Good did something to deserve her execution, but simply because Mr. Ross wanted to kill a woman who wasn’t kissing his ass.

One minute, Renee Good was smiling and joking. Seconds later, she was fighting for her life behind a blood-soaked airbag. And she was never a threat to anyone. This is the kind of brutal injustice with which Black Americans have been all too familiar many decades before the existence of ICE and to this day. This is also the type of savage violence that many people, especially women—as shown in endless TikTok and Upscrolled videos—in Germany, the U.S., the UK, Australia, and Israel are experiencing in real time for protesting crimes against humanity at home and abroad by their respective governments.

Marimar Martinez is another recent victim of the U.S. federal border patrol, who was unjustifiably shot five times by agent Charles Exum, but fortunately survived the encounter and was able to testify against him at trial. The list of atrocities committed by the U.S. government just since the last IWD is miles long. It makes me wonder how best to support those on the receiving end of so much unfair, often deadly, oppression, of which any of us could be a target. This is every American’s fight.

My hope is that something wonderful can somehow spring from these senseless tragedies and others like them. Because the insanity isn’t over and none of us knows when it will be.

Giving money or time can go a long way towards helping to heal a society’s worst ills, once we each make the conscious choice to play a part in ensuring there are far fewer victims of government indifference, overreach, and tyranny. Donating whatever funding or time we can, even if it’s only one dollar or one hour per week, to organizations such as the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the National Coalition for the Homeless, and Path Forward can help women and families suffering from homelessness and food insecurity. A nation is nothing without the strength and health of its citizens, and creating affordable housing for all is a major goal that must be actualized for the greater good.

Organizations such as the Fines and Fees Justice Center, The Bail Project, and the Institute for Justice assists persons with lower incomes and the poor with paying court costs when they find themselves having to fight against a biased and unbalanced legal system. By giving to these causes, we push the system to work harder for those without a voice, which benefits us all.

In honor of Renee Good, who was a member of the LGBTQA+ community, I implore more people to give support to the Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Project, The Giving Block/GLAD Law, or SAGE Advocacy & Services for LGBTQ+ Elders, to help marginalized individuals and communities take vital steps towards equality. Please do not forget TRIAL International, which is a non-governmental organization that fights impunity for international crimes, including sexual violence, and supports victims seeking justice.

The late Mother Teresa was quoted as saying, “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” I truly wish more human beings thought this way. The more of us that firmly decide to give even small amounts of our energy to help others on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, the more we will see change in the right direction.

Giving is its own reward and a form of empathy that can mean more than we realize to someone in need. Giving can literally mean the difference between life and death. We gain on so many levels as a society when we recognize our shared humanity and make the time to act on it with great love.

The Green Party and its political candidates, for whom we campaign and confidently show our support, stand firmly against any and all forms of discrimination and inequality targeting women and LGBTQA+ persons. The Green Party is also committed to grassroots initiatives, which are necessary for growing a solid base of everyday citizens who believe in true democracy and equality without the interference of corporate entities.

Walk proudly. Embrace Solidarity. Remember that to give is to gain so much on this International Women’s Day and beyond.

Green Party Women are Ready to Run

By GPPA Co-chair Colleen Schmotzer

The Pennsylvania Center for Women and Politics offers a course with the trademark name “Ready to Run,” for women who are considering a campaign for public office. The day-long program at Chatham University provides training and mentoring by campaign professionals and office holders.

I recently attended a Ready to Run campaign training designed for women. The day was quite informative, and I was pleased to see approximately ten women I knew from the Green Party of Pennsylvania (GPPA). We heard from various guest speakers who detailed the different teams essential for running a successful campaign. It was interesting to learn that the size of the campaign team can vary significantly depending on the specific office being sought, and that sometimes, a modest donation of $50.00 can be enough to win a seat. The organizers provided breakfast, lunch, and a snack, which was greatly appreciated. 

The event concluded with a panel of four accomplished women. Among them was the Chair of the Allegheny County Democratic Party, who emphasized the critical importance of women participating in politics. She shared an anecdote about a friend who successfully won a seat by running as an independent, highlighting that breaking traditional party lines can be a viable strategy.

One of the Green Party members who accompanied me to Ready to Run was Kat Marquez. Here’s what she thought of the training. "As a queer, non-binary person of color, the Democrats and Republicans have never had my interest in mind, and thus I can align with the beliefs of our local Green Party. It is frustrating that; 1. there was no one on the Ready to Run panel who wasn't from the two major parties, and 2. the two major parties aren't telling the full story. The Green Party of Allegheny County (GPOAC) did have a local candidate run for County Council At-Large during 2025, and one of the major parties challenged our signatures and took us off the ballot. This is exactly what is happening statewide -- this perpetuation of the duopoly that continuously shuts down true democracy of the people." 

When the floor opened for questions, I took the opportunity to ask, "What strategies can third parties, such as the Green Party, employ to effectively challenge the two-party duopoly?"  The Chair's response was direct: "Nothing. It's either you're a Democrat or Republican. That's it. You will never win being a third-party person." I chose to respond by stating assertively, "Watch! I will do it, you will see me there." This declaration was met with applause from the room, after which the question-and-answer session resumed.

Pam Bruno, another one of my Green Party sisters, told me, “After attending the learning seminar hosted by Chatham University, I feel I came out with a useful amount of newfound knowledge. For me, the most important information that could be used to promote the Green Party are the number of elected seats which remain uncontested, along with the small amount of funding it would take to win them. I'm not interested in running for an office, but with what I learned, I am now sure that I could aid in supporting a candidate's campaign.”

PA Green Party Elects 2026 Leaders

On January 11, the Green Party of Pennsylvania State Committee met virtually to elect its leaders for 2026. More than 40 elected delegates and friends of the Green Party from 14 counties participated. They elected five officers to the GPPA Steering Committee, while one co-chair and the secretary are in mid-term. GREEN STAR, the GPPA monthly newsletter, asked the 2026 Steering Committee members to introduce themselves.

Colleen Schmotzer (Allegheny) was elected to a two-year term as co-chair of GPPA. She had been a member at large of the Steering Committee during 2025. Colleen told GREEN STAR, “As the new co-chair of GPPA, my initial focus will be to revitalize our four action teams. I plan to achieve this by actively recruiting team leads and team members from within the Green Party. This will involve outreach not only to seasoned members exploring how we can rekindle their involvement, but also to new members to understand their interests and motivations. Our Communication Team manages the public image of the Green Party. The GPPA Core Team assures the smooth functioning of the party. The Finance Team will increase the value of GPPA and plan the use of its resources. The GPPA Greenwave Team will recruit and support candidates for election and expand the reach of the Green Party.”

GPPA Treasurer Jeff “J.J.” Kondrich (Westmoreland) was re-elected to a second term. J.J. told GREEN STAR, “In 2026, I plan to make sure we meet our reporting requirements and have a robust, secure, and intuitive method of record keeping. If we can organize our data and finances securely, I think the Green Party has a workable future. To help us build the Green Party, I plan to work with our Finance Team to aim fundraising efforts at sources outside of the party, lessening the implicit financial burden of party members. Hopefully a new merchandising plan will also help with this.”

Tony Dastra (Lancaster) was elected to be a Steering Committee member at large. He ran for Mayor of Lancaster City last year. Tony told GREEN STAR, “As a new leader, I plan to bring a different energy into our conversations, not just talking about the issues to be worked through within the system. After last year’s budget standoff in the PA General Assembly, I think it is time to consider a PA Constitutional Convention or amendments. In my opinion, PA needs to consider a unicameral legislature to stop this back and forth between the major parties that have gerrymandered the state capitol into gridlock. Also, the uniformity clause preventing taxes that make sense for the working class and damaging municipalities needs to go. To build the Green Party, I plan to bring new members and involvement. It is time to be more looked-to for constitutional guidance and pragmatic governance. Having pragmatic candidates and approaches, does not mean changing our strong positions as a party. It means people who do not feel like they agree with the Green Party can still approach Green Party candidates for dialogue, despite knowing that disagreement is to be expected, especially at the onset of new conversations.” 

Wendy Keslick (Chester) was also elected to be a Steering Committee member at large. Last year she was a Green Party of Chester County delegate to the GPPA State Committee. Wendy told GREEN STAR, “I am excited for the opportunity to serve the GPPA in a state-wide capacity. In 2026, we will continue to see the collective failure of the two corporate-run parties, and the Green Party will have the opportunity to become the alternative that Pennsylvanians are seeking. I look forward to working collaboratively with other Steering Committee members to ensure that the Green Party is structurally ready to grow in numbers and to lead us to a thriving and better future for our beautiful state.”

Elizabeth “Beth” Schongar (Allegheny) was elected to be a member at large of the GPPA Steering Committee. She held the same office during 2022. Beth told GREEN STAR, “On the Green Party Steering Committee I will be looking at every effort according to three criteria. First, does it reflect the Green Party’s Four Pillars: grassroots democracy, nonviolence, ecological wisdom and social justice/equal opportunity? Second, can we do it: do we have the time, people, expertise and resources? Third, will it make the public more aware of the Green Party and what it stands for?”

Two members of last year’s GPPA Steering Committee did not stand for election because their terms end in 2027. Bryarr Misner (Allegheny) will remain GPPA secretary, and Tim Runkle (Lancaster) will continue as co-chair.

Incumbent Co-chair Tim Runkle told GREEN STAR, “As I begin the second year of my co-chair term, I want to first thank Theron Gilliland, Jr. (Allegheny), Erin King (Centre) and Barbara Laxon (McKean), the outgoing Steering Committee members for their commitment and hard work. They have contributed to strengthening the Green Party of Pennsylvania. Their efforts have helped sustain the party through challenging times and laid important groundwork for what comes next. I also look forward to working with the incoming Steering Committee members and to seeing them share their knowledge, skills, and experience in ways that will strengthen our collective leadership.”

“During 2026,” Tim continued, “my focus as co-chair will be on practicing servant leadership and helping the Steering Committee continue the construction of a comprehensive, member-driven plan for the future of GPPA. I believe our success depends on meaningful engagement with our members encouraged by listening, inviting participation, and creating opportunities for Greens to lead, organize, and contribute. Rather than imposing a top-down agenda, my hope is that the new Steering Committee will advance a plan shaped by the ideas and energy of our members. When we empower more people to get involved and to take ownership of the direction, we will continue to grow the Green Party as a strong, democratic, and principled alternative in Pennsylvania politics.

Green Party of PA Endorses Declaration of Democracy

Green Party of Pennsylvania (GPPA) Co-chair Timothy Runkle (Lancaster) announced, “On December 5, the GPPA Steering Committee has endorsed the Declaration of Democracy statement from March On Harrisburg (MOH). GPPA Co-chair Theron Gilliland (Allegheny), who is also active with March on Harrisburg, submitted the proposal.”

“March On Harrisburg is a state-level, anti-corruption group which GPPA already supports and with which the Green Party has close ties and membership overlap,” continued Runkle. “MOH focuses on a legislative gift ban and ranked choice voting and is affiliated with Pennsylvania Action on Climate and Pennsylvania Poor People's Campaign. Furthermore ‘Democracy’ is one of the Four Pillars of the Green Party.”

Focusing on corruption within the PA General Assembly, the Declaration of Democracy says, “When it is legal to use money to buy political power and shape our society, we all pay the price. Our Legislature cannot serve both money and people. You cannot have ‘one person one vote’ and ‘one lobbyists dollar one vote’ at the same time. Every special interest has an army of PACs, and Super PACs to make sure that their voice is absolutely heard and the needs of working people are not. There are countless ways that money gets into politics. Countless ways that private, profit-driven interests are able to buy influence at the expense of the working class, our families, and our communities. While we lobby with reason, emotion, and people power, corporate lobbyists are armed with bribes and misinformation.”

The ten solutions proposed by the Declaration of Democracy are quite reasonable, “We demand a gift ban, campaign contribution limits, public campaign financing, bans on Super PACs, a ban on side jobs, and the closing of the revolving door. We demand an end to gerrymandering, open primaries, and ranked-choice voting, and we demand House and Senate rules that empower all legislators.”

Chair Jay Ting Walker, Green Party of Allegheny County, said, “It's disappointing but not surprising that so many no brainer, good government reforms have not come to a vote yet in Harrisburg. Hopefully the growing protests will finally get the attention of a corrupt capitol.”

GPPA Steering Committee Member Colleen Schmotzer (Allegheny) said, "The Declaration of Democracy resonates deeply with the core principles of a government that serves its people -- mainly Green Party values. It calls for an end to the undue influence of wealthy interests and a return to a system where lawmakers are accountable to their constituents, not to the highest bidder. By advocating for transparency, ethical governance, and the empowerment of the citizenry, this declaration seeks to fortify the very foundations of democracy. It's a call to action, urging us to recognize the power we hold to shape our society and to actively participate in the creation of a more just and equitable Pennsylvania. The Green Party is very happy to support this."

Building the Green Party in Allegheny County, PA

By Colleen Schmotzer

The Green Party of Allegheny County (GPOAC) has been very active this year on many issues that are currently weighing down our community. I am the Working Groups Coordinator for GPOAC, and we are organizing around homelessness, combating ICE, and we cannot forget about Palestine. The atrocities that are taking place there are despicable to say the least.

Allegheny Greens have gone to many protests such as No Kings Day of Defiance on June 14, Hands Off on April 5, and Sunrise Movement Picnic on May 31. There is always a nice turnout, and we have had no problems at all. Many groups come together with GPOAC for these events. Jewish Voice for Peace and Pittsburgh Palestine Coalition are just a few. If you would like to join our Palestine Working Group meetings, they are on the second Wednesday of each month.

In Allegheny County, the Green Party is also very excited to support Theron Gilliland Jr. in his special election campaign for County Council Member at Large. I love being a Green and all that I do within the Green community.

Let's come together and see what we can do. We are stronger together! Consider joining us no matter where you are located, we need you and your voice. If you would like more information about GPOAC, please feel free to reach out to me, [email protected]

Colleen Schmotzer (she/her) was a co-chair for the Abandon Biden (Harris) Campaign. She was also a team lead in Allegheny County for Dr. Jill Stein’s 2024 campaign for President.

Green Party Has "Hands On" World Peace

Following the massive "Hands Off" demonstration on April 5, the Green Party asked its leaders to describe what the Green Party had its "Hands On." 

By Erin King (Centre County)

Steering Committee, Green Party of Pennsylvania

Although I was a lifelong Democrat until 2024, I'd had my doubts about some Democrats in office. For the most part, I held my faith that many of them were determined to uplift the working class and remain on the right side of history.

The rudest awakening overtook my entire being when I witnessed my government's brutally amoral response to the apartheid State of Israel's full-scale attack on the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank. On October 7, 2023, Hamas waged an aggressive onslaught against Israel, including seizing 251 Israeli persons as hostages; a direct response to decades of extreme oppression and violence imposed against Palestine and its indigenous peoples.

Soon I would learn that not only had Israel helped for some time to fund Hamas but later admitted to murdering its own people on October 7. I would also come to know several other facts, which revealed to me the United States' long, dark history with the Israeli government. The U.S. has wholeheartedly participated in ensuring that the apartheid, illegal occupation, and endless human rights violations in Palestine, continues -- with our tax dollars, no less.

Now, we are well into 2025. We still see no end to the genocide that persists at the hands of Israel and the U.S. against the people of Palestine. Israel has become so emboldened by our corrupt White House and Congress, it has also launched genocidal attacks against Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.

I knew even prior to 2024 that I would never again vote for Joe Biden. I also did not feel any better about the prospect of voting for Kamala Harris. Eventually, I realized that I had heard numerous derogatory things about the Green Party --namely about Dr. Jill Stein -- over the years without doing any real fact-checking about the party. Once I decided to shut out all the ignorant screeching from the neoliberals and started to research the Green Party on my own, I discovered that this is where I need to be.

One stance on which the Green Party is clearly "Hands-On" is that of being for World Peace, which resonates with me like never before. The Green Party truly cares about the American people and wants to create a country that works the way it's supposed to for all Americans and not just the billionaire class .The Green Party is against the money-torching, soul-crushing war machine that has taken over our economy for an eternity. Instead of rebuilding our infrastructures, investing in more modern, reliable public transportation across the country on a grander scale (similar to what exists in Europe), increasing funding for education, hospitals, healthcare, affordable housing, and mental healthcare, the vast majority of our taxes fund the U.S. military and endless, pointless wars and genocide.

This is the bottomless pit that our hard-earned tax dollars are thrown into year after year, with nothing to show for it other than millions of lives destroyed both here and abroad and everyday life becoming more and more difficult for many Americans. Those at the top of the food chain, many of whom hold state and federal offices, enjoy the lucrative financial benefits of starting a war every 15 to 20 years at our expense.

There is something very sobering about finally waking up to what a mess your country and its people have become, largely due to the two ruling parties and their continuously obscene abuse of the American war machine. I cannot begin to explain how, even through all the mess, I still refuse to give up on doing whatever I can to arouse people from apathy and convince them that to see a different, better result, they'll need to seek a better party and cut all ties with the ones that will never stop hurting us.

I believe in the Green Party and in its strong, overall message of "Hands On" inclusion, fairness and justice for all.

• The Green Party has "Hands On" world peace.
• The Green Party has "Hands On" an end to settler colonialism and the international crime of apartheid.
• The Green Party has "Hands On" a 50 percent cut in the Pentagon budget.
• The Green Party has "Hands On" closing more than 700 Pentagon bases abroad.
• The Green Party has "Hands On" ending U.S. arms sales to other nations.
• The Green Party has "Hands On" ťthe U.S. ratification of the Treaty Prohibiting Nuclear Weapons.
